JUST F.Y.I. -

This time around the first of my blogs to be deleted was CastleLakekennesaw.blogspot.com,  my sitemeter reflects intense interest from Google India in this site.  Many look ins starting March 27th.  As of this writing, despite a prompt 'appeal' the site remains deleted.

No idea why anyone would need (or want) to spend 6 hours and 24 minutes there.

My opinion is that the Hyderabad Google operation is in need of some supervision from Google in Mountain View, as they are entirely out of control.

Description
03/30/2017 Case Received by BBB 
     (Less)
Case Description:Deletion/Suspension of 3 blog sites, one going back 6 yrs, 2 others from 2015
On March 27, 2017 I discovered that a 6 yr old blog site: castlelakekennesaw.blogspot.com had been removed/deleted.

Years worth of work (text and photos) had been on this site and it was frequently updated and viewed by many people.

This is what was left in place of my blog:

"Blog has been removed

Sorry, the blog at castlelakekennesaw.blogspot.com has been removed. This address is not available for new blogs.
Did you expect to see your blog here? See: 'I can't find my blog on the Web, where is it?' "

As per their procedures I click on the box to put in an 'appeal'. No reply to date, they claim it will be 'reviewed'.

I subsequently added my displeasure to 2 other Blogspot.com accounts that I had created the last time this uncalled for censorship had taken place which was Nov 2015.

These 2 accounts were updated to reflect that blogspot.com / Google, Inc was again deleting user accounts.

The 2 accounts were immediately removed by blogspot.com / Google, inc, they are:

http://avoidblogspot.blogspot.com
and aks,
https://sundarpichaisucks.blogspot.com

and notices of their removal were left, reading as the above quoted one reads, just the blog names were changed.

The BBB might reference my prior complaint at Case#452949 of Nov 2015 which involved their deleting about 14 of my blogs and after my BBB complaint they were finally restored.

I see that your BBB site rates Google, Inc at only a B+ with 3.14 stars and you show 19 of 21 complaints as being negative.
